[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a bit of a random question. Given all of the talk about how mined diamonds also lose their value by a significant amount, is there a place where I can buy a "used"/"re-sale" large mined diamond (e.g., 3 carats) at a discount? For example, for 15K instead of 30K+? [/quote] Ah, see that’s is biggest scam in the industry. When YOU want to sell your mined diamond, they’ll tell you they don’t hold their value and offer you 20%. When they resell it, they’ll price it at exactly what you paid for it. [b]It’s not that diamonds don’t have resale value, it’s that the industry is a grift.[/b] [/quote] Mined diamonds are NOT rare it's a price controlled racquet. The same companies tried to control lab diamonds but vendors in other countries did not play along. The first jeweler with a brick and mortar store that I found quoted me prices for lab studs that were ridiculous. His prices for labs were only slightly less than mined diamonds. Companies in India and other countries didn't play this game and went around these attempts to control and people bought labs from Ouros and other vendors online. There are vendors from China and more countries. It forced everyone else to bring their lab prices down. Some of the vendors mentioned in these posts have inflated prices for labs. I found Ritani to be the best deal but I love looking at Ouros on etsy because they work with customers to design jewelry and some of their stuff is amazing. [/quote]
